Scorecasting: The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won by L. Jon Wertheim, Tobias Moskowitz

5.0

Fascinating. Digs into several sports-related cliches and provides the facts behind them to disprove, bolster, or explain the truth. I've heard it called Freakonomics for Sports, and that description is apt. The amount of number-crunching and analysis performed to arrive at this book boggles the mind. A must-read for that intersection of geeks and sports enthusiasts.
